«Histoires comme ça» is Rudyard Kipling's children's storybook, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (187 pages, in French).
Eight imaginative tales that humorously explain how some animals came to have their most distinctive traits: the elephant's trunk, the camel's hump, the leopard's spots, or the rhinoceros's wrinkled skin. Kipling presents them as stories with an exotic air, without scientific intent, where curiosity and adventure transform the protagonists.
1999 edition in the Folio Junior Édition Spéciale collection; the work was originally published in 1902 as «Just So Stories».
Aimed at readers aged 9 to 12 and at those seeking children's classics in French.
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English journalist, novelist, poet and short-story writer. He was born in British India, which inspired much of his work.
